i get you guys, but there is an alternative, you could send your physical cartridge to nintendo, and then they can send you the game to the vc. I mean, its not like you can duplicate 64, nes, or superNES cartridges, probably if they were cd's but you'd still need the exact cd artwork. Anyways, if i had a ps3 or xbox 360, and it's 'backwards' compatible, why would i have to pay extra for a game i already have, and why would i have to get the old system out too. I'm not complaining about the service, don't get me wrong, i already bought mario 64, just that nintendo could make it better, i will eventually buy games i never got. Or if your repaying for a game, make it better, polish it or something.
